In Ward 808 of the hospital, the atmosphere was stiff.
On the huge LCD TV, there was a live broadcast of Xiao Family's banquet.
Young ladies from all walks of life were like attending a grand ceremony of blooming flowers. They tried their best to win more attention on the red carpet leading to Xiao Family's mansion.
The magnesium lights changed and flickered. A young girl in an ice blue fishtail evening dress was escorted on the red carpet.
The tall man was handsome and mature. The lines of his side face could be compared with those of international male models.
No, he was more attractive than any international male model.
And it made Huo Jiahui feel that her heart was burning.
Huo Ting sat on the European-style velvet sofa next to the hospital bed and pressed the pause button silently.
The scene of Chu Mochen protecting Song Yunxuan and being surrounded by the magnesium lights froze.
Huo Jiahui's face was pale, but she couldn't help clenching the blanket on the hospital bed with her slender fingers.
She almost gnashed her teeth and turned to ask Huo Ting, "Brother, do you come here today just to let me see this bitch?"
The word bitch was almost chewed up by her.
Huo Ting sneered, "How can you fight with her now? Even Chu Mochen has admitted her identity personally. "
"But Mochen and I are childhood sweethearts!"
She was indignant.
Huo Ting pressed the play button and let the picture on the LCD TV continue to play smoothly. "Love is not about who comes first."
"It is Song Yunxuan who intervenes!!"
She was very stubborn.
Huo Ting interrupted her coldly, "Don't forget that if Chu Mochen didn't miss Gu Changge all the time, how could you have the chance to meet him in the United States?"
Huo Jiahui was gagged at once.
Huo Ting continued, "Even if it was more than ten years ago, you should know that Chu Family originally planned to unite with Gu Family by marriage, but Gu Cheng refused to marry Gu Changge as an ordinary daughter. Otherwise, how could you and Song Yunxuan fight for Chu Mochen's affection now?"
Huo Jiahui really had nothing to say, but she soon laughed at Gu Changge with schadenfreude, "Gu Changge has the ability to suppress others, so what? She's so dead that not even her ashes are left. Now, her husband and sister are going to get together. "
"So, when people die, there's nothing left." Huo Ting's words suddenly turned to her side.
This made Huo Jiahui stunned subconsciously. When she looked at her half-brother again, even her eyes became much weirder. "Brother, what on earth do you mean?"
She is a smart young lady, which is essentially different from her twin sister, Huo Jiaying.
Huo Jiaying was so spoiled that she had high standards but low abilities.
But she was different. She had her own career and her own social circle.
They knew when to advance and when to retreat, and they also knew about the complicated schemes and struggles between people.
She would pay attention to Huo Ting's every look and every word, and even think about it carefully.
Of all the words he said today, Huo Ting's words made her care more.
Hearing her question, Huo Ting turns his eyes from the LCD TV to her.
There was a smile in his eyes. "Do you know why I've never liked you since I was young?"
Huo Jiahui pursed her lips and didn't speak, but her eyes were fixed on him.
From the beginning of her memory, Huo Ting didn't like her. Not only did he dislike her, but he even hated her.
Many times, she could feel Huo Ting's obvious dislike for her.
When the two sisters fell down together, Huo Ting would always help Huo Jiaying up first.
She sat on the ground and cried, waiting for Huo Ting to help her. However, Huo Ting didn't even bother to look at her.
In the Huo family, it seemed that all the love was given to Huo Jiaying.
Her father was like this, her mother was like this, and even her half-brother was like this.
She felt unfair, but she couldn't change it, so she could only leave the Huo family.
Now, Huo Ting mentioned this topic bluntly. Huo Jiahui seemed to remember things many years ago in a trance.
She shook her head and was a little confused. "I don't know."
She had never done anything wrong, and even everything she did was better than what her sister Huo Jiaying did.
However, her parents and brother all turned a blind eye to her.
Huo Ting stood up from the sofa chair. "Because you are much smarter than Jiaying."
Huo Jiahui was stunned and locked her eyes on Huo Ting.
Huo Ting's tone became light and dangerous. "Jiaying's brain never turns. She always acts recklessly with the power of her family. You are much smarter than her. So I can use her as a gun, but you can't. Of course, I don't like you."
Huo Jiahui listened to Huo Ting's explanation and was about to jump up from the bed immediately.
However, Huo Ting came over and pressed his hands on the bed to stop her from getting up. "Do you understand now?"
"You are so despicable!" Huo Jiahui gnashed her teeth.
Huo Ting hooked up the corners of his mouth and showed an extremely bad smile. "So what if I am despicable? It's enough as long as I can achieve my goal! "
"Daddy will not let a person like you be in charge of the Huo family. Mommy will definitely stop daddy!"
Huo Ting sneered. "What if she is dead?"
Hearing this, Huo Jiahui suddenly froze.
She suddenly felt stiff all over and couldn't say anything to refute.
Yes, only when people were alive could they make the impossible possible.
If she was dead, nothing could be stopped and nothing could be changed.
Only when she was alive could she have the fighting capacity.
…
Song Yunxuan's words to Xiao Luo made him feel inexplicably at ease.
Xiao Luo looked extraordinarily weak.
When he changed his clothes and left the room, he left with Song Yunxuan side by side.
Lu Xia appeared quietly in the main house of Elder Xiao.
Elder Xiao wore presbyopic glasses on the bridge of his nose. The gold-threaded nanmu cane in his hand was a little old, and the handle was smooth and moist.
Even though Lu Xia appeared like a ghost in the dark living room of the old house, Old Master Sheng still noticed her effortlessly.
"Xiang, serve tea to Miss Lu."
Lu Xia raised her hand and stopped the housekeeper directly. "Uncle Xiang, the banquet is about to begin. I will have this cup of tea another day."
There was a smile on her lips, with a hundred percent confidence and a bit of restrained satisfaction.
The living room where Xiao Jiancheng stayed was decorated according to the pattern of the prince's living room in the Qing Dynasty. Each piece of furniture in the living room could be equivalent to a villa within the Third Ring Road of Harbor City.
After hearing that Lu Xia refused to serve tea to her by the housekeeper, Xiao Jiancheng's eyes turned slightly and fell on her. He sighed with emotion. "The girl of the Song Family is indeed a clever girl."
"But, Elder Xiao, you are a little bit ruthless." Lu Xia took two steps forward and looked at the transmission picture of the monitor screen placed in front of Elder Xiao. She pointed to the swimming pool. "The depth of the swimming pool is two meters. If you send people to push Little Childe Xiao back, he may be choked to death by a mouthful of water if he is not saved in time."
Xiao Jiancheng laughed in a low voice.
Lu Xia felt a little strange. "Elder Xiao, what are you laughing at? Little Childe Xiao was choked to faint. "
The smile on Xiao Jiancheng's wrinkled face became deeper. "Miss Lu, do you know that my grandson can swim?"
Lu Xia was stunned. "I really didn't see it."
Xiao Jiancheng shook his head. He seemed to have changed his view of this eldest grandson. "Moreover, the woman who pushed him into the swimming pool was not sent by me."
Lu Xia was stunned. She immediately thought of Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang. "Then your two sons can really do it."
Xiao Jiancheng shook his head and said, "No, Miss Lu, no matter how disobedient my two sons are, they won't do such a thing in front of everyone when I'm still alive. There are so many guests tonight. If they do so, won't it be seen that they want to kill their nephew? It's too stupid."
Lu Xia was slightly shocked. She seemed to think of something in an instant. "You mean …"
Lu Xia had already thought of the answer, but she felt that the answer was too incredible. She did not say it immediately.
Elder Xiao nodded and confirmed her answer. "The woman who pushed A Luo into the water was arranged by A Luo himself. It was just a trick of A Luo to injure himself."
Lu Xia was silent.
Elder Xiao did not understand how he should feel at the moment.
He did not know whether he should be happy or sad.
This child was only seventeen years old. Such a trick was even better than his father's.
He was afraid that in a few years, his two uncles would not be taken seriously by him.
He was the child's grandfather and also the father of Xiao Yu and Xiao Liang.
He did not want to see his grandson and his son fight to the death at all.
Lu Xia saw that the old man was not in good spirits. She sighed heavily.
Then she opened her mouth and comforted the old man. "Elder Xiao, you also know that the fittest survive in natural selection."
The fittest survive in natural selection.
These words were the belief of everyone's survival.
Especially in the rich and powerful families in Harbor City.
Elder Xiao had been through ups and downs for decades. He naturally understood this meaning.
But …
"I don't want anyone to die in our Xiao Family."
Lu Xia's lips were straight. There was a momentary change in her face.
No one saw the momentary change on her face clearly. Even Xiao Jiancheng, who was shrewd enough to be called an old fox, did not see it clearly.
Elder Xiao was a little worried. "I can still weigh the capability of my two sons and grandchildren. No matter who wins in the end, I will definitely save the life of the loser."
Lu Xia nodded. "Then what are you worried about, Elder Xiao?"
Elder Xiao raised his hand tiredly. He pointed at Song Yunxuan, who was stepping on the red carpet on the stairs and going downstairs step by step on the screen. He said heavily, "I am worried about her."
Lu Xia looked at the place where Elder Xiao was pointing.
Song Yunxuan, who was wearing a silver-gray dress, was intellectual and elegant. Her slender legs were as white as jade. Her graceful figure and the smile at the corner of her lips made people unable to move their eyes away at a glance.
Her pupils were as dark as ink.
No matter how bright the light was shining in her deep eyes, it seemed that it would be swallowed up by the thick darkness at the bottom of her eyes.
Lu Xia just said her superficial feeling to Song Yunxuan. "She is a very beautiful girl."
Elder Xiao suddenly opened his mouth after a long while. "The closer this child is, the more she looks like Shao Xuan in those years."
"This is the second time that you have said that she looks like her father."
